Edit 2 …
Nuclear chemistry is the most powerful and misunderstood topic in chemistry. Mention of the word nuclear puts most people in fear and their first and sometimes only picture is that of a nuclear explosion. What comes first to your mind when the term nuclear chemistry is mentioned? Are the bomb, nuclear power and radiation sickness the only things nuclear chemistry has to offer? This project will allow you to find the answers to these questions and learn there is much more to nuclear chemistry!
